New York, also called New York state, is a state located in the Northeastern United States. Bordering New England to its east, Pennsylvania and New Jersey to the south, and Canada to its north, New York extends into both the Atlantic Ocean and the Great Lakes. It is the fourth-most populous state in the United States, with over 20 million residents, and the 27th-largest state by area, with a total area of 54,556 square miles (141,300 km2).Wikipedia

The Mid-Atlantic corridor — New York City south through Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington D.C. — is the densest and most economically complex region in the country. Finance and media anchor New York; government, defense, and federal contracting anchor D.C.; healthcare and universities anchor Philadelphia and Baltimore. This makes the region one of the most recession-resistant labor markets in the U.S., though the same fundamentals push housing costs persistently high.

Philadelphia and Baltimore offer substantially lower costs than either New York or D.C. while sitting on the same high-speed rail line, making them increasingly attractive to remote workers and hybrid commuters. The New Jersey and Delaware suburbs fill in between, providing family-oriented communities within commuting range of multiple cities. The region's density means genuine walkability in most urban cores, strong transit infrastructure, and cultural institutions that rival anywhere on earth.
